Abstract

PURPOSE: To eliminate uneven heating in the longitudinal direction, effectively, uniformly fix an unfixed toner image to faithfully form the image, and prevent a stain of recording paper by forming a heating resistor with negative TCR on an insulting board. CONSTITUTION: A belt-shaped heating resistor 11 is formed in a recess between rising parts 10a, 10b formed at each side end of a belt-shaped glaze layer 10 made of glass on a long insulating board 9 made of ceramic. A protecting film 13 is formed on the upper surface except for an electrode part arranged at each end of the heating resistor 11. The resistor 11 is made of a material in which temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is negative, such as barium titanate base resistor material. TCR is preferable to be in the range of -8000 PPM/ deg.C<=TCR<=--100PPM/ deg.C, and more preferably the upper limit is -500PPM/ deg.C. By this constitution, since temperature rising in the central part of the resistor 11 is larger than that at each end, specific resistance is made small, and temperature difference is decreased to make temperature distribution uniform.

[Effect] Even if uniform heat is generated in the entire band-shaped heating resistor of the fixing heater, the amount of heat radiation is large near both sides of the recording paper as compared with the central portion thereof. The temperature in the vicinity of the part tends to be higher than that in the both ends. Therefore, in the fixing heater according to the first aspect, the strip-shaped heat generating resistor is formed of a material having a negative TCR. This TCR is a general name for the temperature coefficient of resistance of a resistor, and its numerical value [TCR] is as follows, and its unit is usually PPM.

However, R a : resistance value at temperature T a R b : resistance value at temperature T b In the case of such a heating resistor having a negative TCR, when the temperature is raised, the resistance is increased accordingly. There is a characteristic that the value becomes small.Therefore, the specific resistance in the vicinity of the central part of the heating resistor is smaller than that at both ends, so the degree of heat generation is reduced and the temperature difference between both ends of the heating resistor is reduced. The temperature can be remarkably reduced, and as a result, heating unevenness does not occur along the longitudinal direction of the heating resistor, and a uniform temperature distribution is obtained.
